Today’s featured songwriters are Evan Barker & Evan Jones with their submission titled! “Strange Days”.


Strange Days was shot right before the 2020 lockdown started, filmed somewhere between Roswell and Palm Springs. An Alien Girl crashes onto earth and finds a post-apocalyptic world without humans. She stumbles upon a book written in her native language of Lillith and uses it to find clues as to what happened on the lonely, forgotten planet, and to see if she can find the answers she has been searching the galaxy for.

The inspiration for the band name 'Alien Girl' comes from Evan's childhood experience of feeling different from her peers. She was often sick a lot, without knowing what was wrong with because she wasn't diagnosed until 15. She also moved frequently, so she knew what it was like to be the new girl. In the 3rd and 4th grades, the entire school called her Alien Girl because they thought she was strange, like someone from another planet. This really bothered her as a kid, and so she took her frustrations out by writing songs. As an adult she is proud to be different, and to move to the beat of her own cilia. Evan has reclaimed the name Alien Girl and turned the pain of that memory into the symbol of their band's music.

Today’s music video can be viewed here or on Alien Girl’s YouTube Channel.

 

The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD friend or family member.

 

The PCD Artist Project’s 2020 exhibition merchandise ranges from apparel, giftware, home furnishings, and printed products such as posters, prints, wall art, and other items, all created from our exhibition; which can be viewed on PCD Smiles’s website.
